Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urges Trump to pause Iran attack

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told U.S. President Donald Trump that dialogue must be prioritized to reduce escalation and avoid a broader Middle‑East conflict. He urged Trump to suspend any new strike on Iran and to work toward a cease‑fire that could open the Strait of Hormuz and pave the way for diplomatic solutions.

Trump announced on Saturday that he would delay a planned attack on Iran after the Saudi request, saying the move was in the interest of regional and global security. He added that Israel supported the decision and that the United States was seeking an agreement that could end the five‑month war and curb Iran’s nuclear threat.
